Tepin won't run Saturday but is NOT retiredTwo-time champion mare TEPIN had a touch of colic yesterday at her Palm Meadows training base and had to be treated for it, eliminating her from consideration for what trainer Mark Casse had planned to be her 6yo debut, the G3 Endeavour Stakes on Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs.

We'll have full details up soon on http://www.drf.com, but Casse emphasized that the mare is fine and should be able to return to training soon to point for other races. "We definitely intend to run her this year," he said. "Whether this means we'll miss going to Dubai, I don't know. Regardless, there are plenty of other races for her this year."

Mark Casse didn't have the best weekend, did he? First his two-year-old champ has a meltdown before the Holy Bull, and then his star mare has a bout of colic, which is always scary for a trainer, not matter how minor the colic turns out to be.
